Bernard Michael "Bernie" Adam, 67, of Garden City, passed from this life
 on May 6, 2020, after a long, courageous battle with cancer. 
Bernie was born on January 11, 1953, to Ben and Bertha (Reinert) Adam in
 Plainville, KS. The family moved to Esbon in 1956 where he went to 
school and worked on the family farm until they moved to Tipton in 1969.
 He completed his education at Tipton High School in 1971. 
After high school he started his lifelong work in construction and 
carpentry, eventually starting Bernard Adam Construction in Garden City.
 He found a true passion in helping people when he became the Housing 
Program Coordinator at the Center for Independent Living in Garden City 
for three years. He built and remodeled many homes and businesses in 
Garden City and the surrounding area throughout the years and did 
beautiful work. 
He married the love of his life, Mary Bergmann, in 1978 and moved to 
Garden City where they built a beautiful home and had three wonderful 
children, Katie, Kelsie, and Joseph. 
He is survived by his wife, Mary and children Katie Bird and husband 
Jeff of Rose Hill, KS, Kelsie McMillan and husband Brandon of Hays, KS, 
and Joseph of Kansas City, MO, his brother John Adam and wife Albertha 
of Salina, sister Kathryn Burghart and husband Bernie of Salina, sister 
Tilly Kirchner of Charlotte, NC, brother Ed Adam and wife Judy of 
Tipton, brother Jack Adam of Des Moines, IA, sister Suzie Talbert of 
Pasadena, CA, sister Barb Reinert and husband Alan of Wichita, along 
with numerous nieces, nephews and extended family. He is also survived 
by four grandchildren that he loved dearly: Aiden, Sophia, Hailey, and 
Addyson. 
He was preceded in death by his parents Ben and Bertha Adam, sister 
Lenora Mick, sister Margaret Henry, brother Charles Adam, sister Loretta
 Murray, sister Mary Sharrow, and sister Caroline Whittecar. 
Memberships include St. Dominic Catholic Church, St. Dominic Property Commission, and Knights of Columbus- 3rd Degree. 
He enjoyed hunting and fishing with family and friends, vintage 
automobiles, and collecting coins. His favorite way to spend a weekend 
would be attending an auction followed by an Old Western marathon, with 
Church and NASCAR on Sunday. Bernie will be remembered for his strong 
faith in God, his courage, his amazing ability to fix anything, and his 
sense of humor that came out at the most unexpected moments. He will be
 missed and remembered by everyone who knew him. 
Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, May 17, 2021 at St. 
Dominic Catholic Church in Garden City with Rev. Warren Stecklein as

He moved to Chicago and went to work for Mazak. After a few years, he moved to Grapevine, Texas, while continuing to work for Mazak. Soon after, he opened his own business servicing laser machines. Mark returned to southwest Kansas in 2012 but continued to travel to service his long-time customers. Mark enjoyed his friends and family and the lifetime of memories they gave him. He loved to fish and would be on the lake first thing come the weekend. Sometimes when work was too busy to golf, he would take his clubs with him just hoping he could play a course. He loved NASCAR and the Texas Motor Speedway. Mark was a jokester and would often call you with a joke. His work took him all over the country and introduced him to many people. Many of his clients became his best friends, life-long friends. Mark was a beloved son who called his mother every day. Mark is survived by his sisters, Sherri Hitchings and husband Todd of Boise City, Okla., Vicki Peacock and husband Jimmy of Elkhart, Debbie Lang and husband Jim of Dallas, Lanelle Johnson and husband Eric of Elkhart, and Lanette Patte and husband Richard of France; brother, Donny Bellomy and wife, Chelsey of Emporia, and numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his father Elwin McCarty, mother Patti Bellomy and step-father Jim Bellomy Memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Monday, May 10 at Keyes United Methodist Church in Keyes, Okla., with Pastor Rick Forthman officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to Morton County Library in care of Garnand Funeral Home, PO Box 854, Elkhart, KS 67950.
